To be honest, as someone who has been testing this platform for a long time, his numbers are those of an E0 stepping CPU, not the retail E1. Perhaps he forgot that he used an E0 rather than E1. As far as I am concerned my E1 3770K acts MUCh better than his, maybe its all those volts he is pumping into it, i don't need that much voltage on my3770K E1, however i did need those kinds of volts on my 3570K E0.

My max CPu clock is above his as is my max stable cpu oc, these are air results.

hope no one quoted me.

Or he sucks at OCing. I've noticed that quite a bit, reviewed chips end up requiring more voltage than normal chips for the same OC..Weird, eh?

So many people these days just pump voltage to 1.4 and up the multiplier. Shake and bake OCing.

Oh, and anybody that wants to compare IB to that massive fail of a processor known as BD has lost all credibility in my book.

Yeah, it's more like Phenom II X4 to Llano A8's. Slight IPC gain, but they both clock the same pretty much.
